I usually don't vote ... because it seems pointless to me.
Congress makes policy, not a figure-head. Now show me a plan for reform of Congress and my vote will be sincere. I only voted this time because he wanted one cast, and couldn't.
They know not what they did .. these young just fresh out of college kids, who have no life experience except which silver spoon their being fed out of today.
I'm here to tell you that I know of 4 .. count them FOUR people who are already plotting, who happen to have a social circle of white hoods. And that's just little me, out here in the middle of nowhere.
Those votes sealed his impending death .. because I am a white American who is telling you straight up ... he will have to die for this.
dude, your concerns about the tryannical tranformation of our country into socialism is valid. I share those fears, but am withholding judgment. If it does come to pass, I've mentally prepared myself for the difficult choice of leaving America permanently.
but what's with this crazy talk? Americans have rejected the fake pseudo-conservatism of GW Bush and his neo-con pals. I hardly see this election as an embrace of pink socialism.
Republicans can still filibuster in the Senate to block left-wing extremism. And if the Democrats fuck up, they'll be out.
"I'm here to tell you that I know of 4 .. count them FOUR people who are already plotting, who happen to have a social circle of white hoods. And that's just little me, out here in the middle of nowhere."
i guess I have a 1% empathy for your position given where you live and the type of people you have to call neighbors. but the way i see it, the US government is Big Brother. They'll torch these schemers much like they burned down that Waco compound. There's that guy in Idaho whose compound was sold off. White supremacists are a tiny smidge of the population, and they're usually just a bunch of broken-down poor ex-convicts (no offense meant here).
The POWERS THAT BE (global elitists who really control power) believe having a black president is acceptable to reflect growing multi-ethnic society that will become the US. Having a black man who represents "change" even if no change happens is the perfect scenario.
I think Obama could be assassinated, but not by white supremacists. It could happen if he deviates from script and tries to bring real change.... like John Kennedy.
There was the much-beloved Israeli prime minister Yitzak Rabin, who was on the verge of reaching a deal with Yassir Arafat during the Clinton term. He did get assassinated because that type of change would have been unacceptable.
You'd think an Arab would do it, but it wasn't an Arab. It was a Jew. It delivered massive assault on the entire process and country, dooming that chance.
Are you show of your convictions? Does anybody know anything?
Well, I think burning crosses at midnight two nights in a row, should be a sure indication to anybody who isn't a fool ... that the natives are not happy campers.
To be honest, i think a lot of you people are both paranoid and overly optimistic.
The system really doesn't change. In the entire history of our country, real change has occurred slowly moving at tortoise speed. I can count on one hand men who as American President who tried to implement radical change.
The beauty and curse of the American political system is that no one man can really change anything radically. If you look at Barack's economic team, it looks like a repeat of the Clinton economic team. That means no change. Change from Bush, yes. But fundamental change that motivated all those young kids to work for Obama change, no.
I think Obama is gonna be a centrist, which will disappoint a lot of his supporters.
And please don't think a few rural white rednecks burning crosses is going to remove a US president. Their entire intellectual and financial resources are far less than the resources of the Richmond Virginia FBI office. I don't have to remind you that GW Bush's Patriot Act guarantees that the American government already knows what these people are up to.
Come back when all hell breaks loose over a racial Civil War after his death, and then ask me how this assassination could possibly be the worlds destruction .... that is, if you're still alive.
When Obama is murdered by a white person ... a racial war of proportions we can't even imagine will commence. And once we become completely divided amongst ourselves, we will be so focused on our own racial problems ... that we'll never see what's coming ..
It only takes one fucking bullet ... so it only takes one fucking fool stuck in the past. The amount of people who are insane is irrelevant because it only takes one.
"there are white supremacists who are stuck back in the 50s, but that accounts for such a small percentage of the population. A few weeks ago, there were these 2 kids who were white supremacists supposedly and they had a plan to kill Obama by ambushing him at a rally or something and then running their car into him, all while wearing white tuxes. I mean, seriously? Idiots."
You're so stupid, seriously.
Children who are skin-heads, aren't white supremists .. their little kids trying to act like natzi's, and are barely out of diapers, and have ZERO experience in dealing with real-life racial incidents.
You have zero awareness that the radical ones who ARE stuck in the past are the ones to be feared, because they themselves, actually have a conviction, unlike the children who only want to fit it and look cool, while mommy fixes supper.
"So you think only Obama has something to fear cause there's like 15 white supremacists, or skinheads, whatever, that want to kill him. But there are probably more that wanted to take McCain down. Skinheads kill just as many people as white supremacist do, probably more in fact."
Please OFA .. if you cannot understand racial concepts, then don't even try to answer. It isn't about murder, in itself, of just a person.
This isn't about Obama having something to fear .. it's about you and me having soemthing to fear in the aftermath.
You think this is about murder, and who's capable of it? lol
Stupidity, seriously .. and these are those who voted.
"this election has really brought out in ppl who they really are on this board and in the real world"
Let me guess .. you never saw this coming.
Oh look, something shiny, let's run towards it and embrace it.
Fools, all of you. White people weren't ready for this. I told you, I fucking told you .... another generation HAD to pass first because there are people around who are still fucking prejudice.
Does that matter? Obviously not, because you never saw this coming, and are astounded that it did.
DCVirgs ... when you can say that you've experienced life as an American and have dealt with our racial problems ... then you'll be allowed to make an assessment about any other president and what challenges they would face.
You are speaking from a position in which you have absolutely no experiencing in living.
"They can kill Obama but their will be other Obama's right behind him. He has paved the way now for that to happen and if nothing else happens that is enough..."
LOL. Exactly.
As if this isn't going to propel the Democrats and Barack supporters to elect a female or minority to the office, maybe someone with a radical temperament... Extremism only causes counter-extremism.
Obama is about the most non-threatening black man that could possibly ever be elected President.
In a sign that's sure to break Aqi's left-wing bleeding heart....
===============
"Pelosi: Obama should govern from the middle
(CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called on President-elect Barack Obama to govern from the middle, as her party sat poised to gain its widest House majority in 15 years."
OMG, Aqi you are the woman of the hour with that one. My stomach hurts, hahaha!!!! This reminds me of a guy back in high school who liked me -- he was straight cowboy -- very Deliverance 😉 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!
It didn't work out because I found out he was a highly prejudice -- yeah, I was the wrong girl for that joker, not quite sure what attracted him from the start, I was clearly the wrong girl for him. Back then I was heavier and my boobs were bigger so maybe that was the case 😄 -- I do know he was a taurus. I used my Scorpio friend to keep him away -- especially when he started talking using pilars and wrenches to "make me feel good" :O Oh fyck no!!! lol.
THEN, and only then, will we systematically paint all the participants in the white trash uprising a brilliant shade of chocolate brown which will cause them to turn on themselves with a great hate, consequently causing them to BONE EACH OTHER TO DEATH. They will self destruct within seconds with little effort on our parts.
YEAH!!!!!! See, we know how to take care of business 😄 😄 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and FYI -- I agree with the fact that the post-election drama around here has exposed people for what they really are 🙂 I never knew adults could act so much like scared children, life as they know it isn't the same anymore and now all of a sudden there an uprising lol!!! This shit is too funny. I usually don't come to DXP to get entertained but this kind of stuff cracks me up.
Obama gonna die, beware, beware, beware OOOOOOOOOO!!!! hehehe, have you ever heard of the old saying, "Que Sera, Sera .... Whatever Will Be, Will Be" Whatever the future holds, it is what it is. Are we suppose to stop kneel those who DON'T WANT CHANGE, merely out of fear, hell fycking NO!!!!!! If they want an uprising, I say BRING IT!!!!!!!

I guess you prefer to spending 5 dollars per gallon then Mystic.
Yep 🙂 At least I know where that money is going -- in my gas tank. I can't want until we start getting alternative energy going, that's going to be sweet but we have to get these people who are hooked on oil to 'Gasolione Rehap' first 😉
Education is dangerous for you people, because its your illusion of knowledge with your inert facts... you people are foul and desgraceful. Do us all a favor and kill yourselves and stop worrying about killing a president.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! OH YEAH! Actually, I just told them all to get the out of the country on another thread (the one by virgogotme 😉) if they don't like whats going on. All you have to do is pay taxes and die -- nothing else. So if they have problems with the President elect, then they can get the fyck out here. Go bitch and moan somewhere else LMFAO!!!
Awww Ashley, don't let the politics of some people get on your nerves -- its just politics, nothing more 🙂
I'm glad to see you are doing well Brahn 🙂 hahahaha, you and I don't have the same views on thing so you know talking to me is a waste of time buddy LOL!!!!! I think we should talk about food 🙂
The average American and voter has very limited knowledge of politics/government. Why do you think politicians rely so heavily on generic rhetoric? Because if they didn't, they would lose their audience. I am sure that if you had asked around more, you would've found that many of the other candidates' supporters knew nothing about their respective policies either.
I'm not sure about Howard, but Hillary didn't have a chance. The Clintons have too many skeletons in their closet, which was another reason she wasn't the VP pick. Too risky of a choice.
There are a number of reasons Obama took a sweeping victory. One of them being that he just so happened to run at the right time, with the economy being as it is. Another being that McCain probably didn't actually want to win. Race and age probably were factors as well, but certainly not the only. And to think as you do shows that your own critical thinking skills are severely lacking.
Your argument is a classic, Branh. It reminds me of that of the opponents of affirmative action. They will say, "People should be chosen according to their capabilities and not the color of their skin." Yet, you will often find they immediately presuppose that any accomplished minority reached their status merely because they were given a handout and overlook their attributes. That very mindset is the reason affirmative action was put into place. In the end, whether Obama had won or lost, it would have been attributed to race. This shows you that despite our progress, our country is still among the most segregated, mentally and physically. We have a long ways to go still.
Stay tuned .....
